I'll Fight Wilco
"I'LL FIGHT" from WILCO (the album)
I got the original chord arrangement from a post already on the site. Thank you for
post. From there, I tabbed out the intro based on that arrangement. I have provided two
of the intro; a simple arrangement and a complex arrangement. The simple one is note
note what is played on the record where as the complex arrangement adds slaps (x) as well
possible extra notes (in other words, the way I play it on solo guitar as inspired by
masterful fingerstyle technique). With my intro and the original post attached, I hope
who stumbles upon this may find it easy enough to learn. Enjoy this wonderful song!
Capo on the 3rd fret (Notes provided are in relation to the capo)

[Am]I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go for you
[C]I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight for you
[Dm]I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill for you
[C]I will, I will, I[Em7] will
[Am]I'll go,I'll go, I'll go, I'll go for you
[C]I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight, I'll fight for you
[Dm]I'll die, I'll die, I'll die, I'll die for you
[C]I will, I will, [Em7]I will
[E]And if I die
I'll die, I'll die alone on some
[F]Old private [C]hill
[F]Abandoned by the[C] mill
[F]All my blood will
[G]Spring and spill
[F]I'll crash the air
[G]and be still
[Am]You'll wait
With the star from a dream
And know that I am [C]gone
You'll [Dm]feel it in your heart
But not for very [C]long
[Am]You'll rise each day as planned
Your will is your c[C]ommand
And s[Dm]tand each Sunday
A hymnal steady in your [C]hand[Em7]
[E]You'll sing to yourself
The rising-falling melo[F]dy
That you could never re[C]ad
[F]Without the choirs' l[C]ead
[F]Still alone, and lost in[G] deep
[F]And your soul will not be[G] free
[Am]I will go , I will go, I will go
And in wars waters
[C]I will wade
And I will [Dm]know
If I remorse or regret
The fairness of our tr[C]ade
[Am]For you to live
I took your place
A deal was made
And I was [C]paid
And the [Dm]goldness
I was told
Was a place
Where my body could be [C]laid
[E]And we will steal your life
And I own
In better homes s[F]urrounded
By your[C] peers
Without [F]suffering or f[C]ear
[F]Grandchildren far and [G]near
[F]And none will shed a [G]tear
[F]For the love no longer [G]here
[Am]I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go for you
[C]I will
[Dm]I'll fight, I'll fight,I'll fight, I'll fight for you
[C]I will, I will, I[Em7] will
[Am]I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill, I'll kill for you
[C]I will
[Dm]I'll die, I'll die, I'll die, I'll die for you
[C]I will, I will, I [Em7]will
[E]And if I die
I'll die
I'll die alone like [F]Jesus
On a c[C]ross
[F]My faith cannot by t[C]ossed
[F]And my life will not be l[G]ost
[F]If my love comes [G]across
